Synopsis

After the sudden death of his mother, elementary school student Chihiro Komiya is left with no home and no family. But this changes when he encounters a rich and frivolous stranger who turns out to be his long-lost uncle, Madoka Takatori. Madoka offers to take Chihiro in, but upon arriving at his uncle's high-class mansion, the young boy is greeted by a plethora of dust and garbage. As Chihiro's neatfreak instincts kick in, he sets about cleaning the entire residence.

Shounen Maid is a lighthearted comedy that follows Chihiro as he finds himself dressed in a frilly uniform (handmade by his uncle), receiving a salary, and working as maid of the house.

Shounen Maid is a TERRIBLY underrated show. I can get, however, where the reluctance to touch this show might be coming from, since 8bit produced it and the summary sounds like the premise to some terrible shotacon nightmare.

This is one of those (rare in this medium and industry, I am extremely sorry to express) 'don't judge a book by its cover' cases, though: Shounen Maid is basically a gen slice of life show centering around family, friendship and mourning. And it's done beautifully from beginning to end.

The show achieves the perfect balance between sweet, lighthearted comedic tones, and a more serious approach towards ...

Not a bad anime; however, I don't think I was supposed to ship the uncle and his nephew, and yet I did. I liked the episode where they became super spies, it gave a prime example of how stalking is a form of spying, which is true to an extent. Are we all super spies when we continuously scroll through our exes Instagram profile and find out who their new beau is? I'd like to think so.

It was really weird how the nephew dressed up as a cat for his uncle's birthday and let him pet him for the whole day because the uncle ...

Preliminary (8/12 eps)
Content warning: "Comedy" pedophile dog whistling all through the show. Here we have an uncle, Madoka, who right off the bat clothes Chihiro in a frilly feminine maid's uniform that obviously makes Chihiro very uncomfortable. That accomplished Madoka wastes no time making a habit out of sneaking into Chihiro's bed at night after Chihiro has fallen asleep. The show frames this behavior as funny rather than scary and creepy. Chihiro's angry protests are also framed as funny. Soon after, in another "funny" scene, Chihiro is given pepper spray to protect himself from Madoka's appalling boundary violations/sexual harassment. Because childhood sexual assault is funny! Right?

That most ...
